I'm pretty sure that the +% ignore def that it is supposed to add does in-fact show on your character's Ignore Def % in the stat window, so how would anyone be able to tell that it doesn't work besides checking that stat?
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've seen people say that Ambition's ignore def doesn't work, and I don't know how people know that.
Ignore Magic DEF is a thing, bosses have two DEF stats, PDR, for Physical classes, and MDR, for Magical classes. Ambition is supposed to add to both, as do most things, it's kinda weird that they distinguish between them at all, since PDR and MDR are usually (but not always) equal, and Ignore DEF, potentials, at least, works on both.
And it's just math. If you have 10% Ignore DEF, from Ambition, and you go to a monster with say, 25% PDR, you should be ignoring 2.5% of its DEF, so you should do 77.5% of your damage instead of 75% of your damage. You attack for a while, get data, and if some of the damage dips below 77.5% of your damage, generally the minimum possible damage you could do which would be your mimimum range times your skill percentage, with whatever else, you know it doesn't work. It applies with other sources as well, you just have to math it out.
